Tico House

This photo shows a typical rural house in Costa Rica. They are small by American standards, but are solidly built, painted charming colors, and almost always have a tin roof. Satellite TVs are popular. This house has a nice garden.

This week we are showing photos of the Villa Melzi in Bellagio, Italy,
on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.

    The cheerful colours make such a pleasant image. Looks like a house with a proud owner who takes care of the property.

    They are small by our standards but I must say, they are always neat, tidy, and very well maintained.

    It isn't big by our standards, but it is neat, attractive, and in a pretty nice setting. Life is good.

    I've seen some of your houses on HGTV (House Hunters International)...very interesting. This looks to be a nice place and a good size for a retired couple!
